LA PRIEST - 'Party Zute / Learning To Love'

ELECTRONIC HOUSE FUNK DANCE




Get a vibe going with this track. There will be many, however. This song really has no labels for its genre. Dance worthy.

Pinact - 'Scars'

GARAGE POP PUNK




Some pop punk because lately the world's been tailoring to the 90's generation. This is also a pretty great song. Vocally fierce!

from Stand Still and Rot. By Kanine Records. 2015.

(DmC: Devil May Cry) - Combichrist - 'No Redemption'

VIDEO GAME (DMC: DEVIL MAY CRY)



Part 2 of DmC soundtrack: the industrial metal. It's pretty heavy and great for the hack-and-slash mood of the video game. I'm a fan of heavily distorted guitar triplets. There is a fuller version with lyrics and introduction riiiight HERE.

(DmC: Devil May Cry) - Noisia - 'Devil's Dalliance'

VIDEO GAME (DMC: DEVIL MAY CRY)


DmC's soundtrack is a combination of dubstep and metal. This is a favorite track in the dubstep category. Something about dubstep adds bada**ery to this hack-and-slash video game. But perhaps that's just the stereotype dubstep has on society. "Bada**ery."

The song's mood changes towards the end at 4:02. Good job, Noisia.

Froth - 'Distant Ties'

GARAGE SURF ROCK



In a daze of summery rock. Swimming guitars and present chords of keys.

"I believe all the lies."

from Saccharine Sunshine B/W Distant Ties. 2014.

Melted - 'Still Waiting'

GARAGE PUNK ROCK


Walls of guitars. Crushing! Fast tempos for that energy.

"Still Waiting
For the wrecking ball
For the bridge to fall"
For the day to see Melted live.

25 Years is also a good track.

Ziptripper. 2015.

Winter - 'Someone Like You'

DREAM POP ROCK


Fun keys in the intro. A refreshing song with the right amount of dream-pop reverb'd vocals. This is a wonderfully layered song mixed and mastered by Nolan Eley.

Supreme Blue Dream. 2015.

13.4.15

Upset - 'Home'

POP PUNK



Delay delay reverb reverb on them vocals. Wonderful pop punk with lots of air. Begging for a good moshing?

from '76 EP. By Lauren Records. 2014.

Cody Crump - 'I Hope I Die Before I Get Too Old'

ANTHEMIC FOLK




Mellow acousticness paired with thumping percussion parts like shaky tambourines. Ephemeral croons like our lives.

"I keep my pleasure in the past..."

2014.

And Summer Club - 'In Your Bed'

lo-fi pop rock



A sweet song formulated by reverbed guitars and distant vocals. Sounds fuzzy.

And Summer Club EP. Ikume Records. 2015.

Craspore - 'Wide'

SYNTH WAVE WITCH HOUSE



A slow, full-bodied track with haunting vocals. Like most great electronic tracks, this one has some well founded low ends.

The mixing's width is spot on with delayed synths. Makes it sound kinda spacey.

Crystal Waves. Youth 1984. 2015.

Dinosaurios Surf Club - 'My bestfriend is internet'

NEO SURF ROCK


Familiar surf drum beats. Dreamy guitars with movement inducing phrases. I also recommend their track Dolphin (ft. delfin).

2015.

31.1.15

Post Modern Team - 'Listen In The Time'

ELECTROCLASH



Another groovy track from Post Modern Team. Riffy guitars and well harmonized vocals may be melancholic, but the driving bass of the electroclash genre and upbeat drums will have you dancing instead.

Tower Records. 2015.

Hanni El Khatib - 'Moonlight'

GARAGE ROCK



Heavy walks. Simple guitar riffs transformed into a full song.

Moonlight. Innovative Leisure. 2015.

Ex Cops - 'White Noise'

ALTERNATIVE POP ROCK




High energy bouncing. Instrumentally, the track adds full instrumental tracks on top of on another. And the fierce vocals will have you pushing for more.

Daggers. Downtown Records. 2013.

Psychic Driving - 'Dead Flowers'

PSYCHEDELIC DARK SPACE GARAGE ROCK




Sluggish and dazed guitars are moved forward by the bass and snare. An organ synth plays in the back as the swimming guitar solo is accompanied by a beautiful tambourine.

30.1.15

Travel Check - 'Druggy Daddy'

NEO SURF GARAGE ROCK


Groovin' guitars to groove your pinnae. Vocals are fuzzy and match the song perfectly. That is one happy snare. 

From 66$. Howlin' Banana Records. 2014. 

29.1.15

PANTHAR - 'Ghost Rocket'

GOTH NEW WAVE PUNK ROCK




Synth punk rock with a pinch of the 80's. Great guitar with an even greater bass accompaniment. The vocals invigorate the whole track.

From Ghost Rocket Single. New Professor Music. 2015.

(Silent Hill 4: The Room) Akira Yamaoka - 'Resting Comfortably'

VIDEO GAME (SILENT HILL 4: THE ROOM)



Ah... The staple ambient music of Silent Hill. This piece is well mixed in that it has depth. It isn't flat. That may be because of the delays. This track is welcomed under the stressful strategic horror tasks this game is known for.

28.1.15

Allah-Las - 'No Werewolf'

ALTERNATIVE INDIE PSYCHEDELIC ROCK



Steady drums with twangy guitars. The hypnotizing video compliments the music perfectly. The tune is reminiscent of the dry desert that is Los Angeles. 

From Worship The Sun by Innovative Leisure. 2014. 

The Bots - 'All of Them (Wide Awake)'

ALTERNATIVE ROCK






Rousing tune with lots of air from the tambourine and overheads. The melody on the guitar is melodic and held up by the riffing guitar and simple bass line. Dreamy sounding vocals will have you drifting in your mind.

From Pink Palms by FADER Label. 2014.
